Since size_t is an alias to a concrete fixed-sized int type, I don't
think it would actually be a problem. The alias AFAIK depends only on
the version identifiers, which are always set for the target arch, so
size_t will always alias to the correct target type even when run in
CTFE on a host with a different size_t.
